흥미로운 사실

Seven Sinners is a 1936 British thriller film directed by Albert de Courville and starring Edmund Lowe, Constance Cummings and Felix Aylmer. In the U.S. it was known under this title and also as Doomed Cargo. The screenplay concerns an American detective and his sidekick, who travel from France to England to take on a gang of international criminals.

Production

The movie was based on a play The Wrecker that had been filmed in 1929.

It was one of the first collaborations between Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, and the first time they had been credited as a team, although they were both credited on Facing the music.

Gilliat said he and Launder watched The Wrecker and rewrote L du Garde Peach’s screenplay. "We started with a disappearing body, then had to think up a solution. The first two reels were easy, then we were just making it up as we went along. We would each write a sequence separately, then exchange notes and rewrite it." Gilliat says the film was heavily influenced by American models such as The Thin Man.

Sally Eilers was originally announced to star alongside Edmund Loew. Filming took place in March 1936.
